Don't Stare

About Us

Don't Stare was founded in 2018 by Terence and Marissa Evans while sitting down in a public restaurant eating dinner with our family. Staring has been something that we’ve always encountered during our family outings. However, one particular day while feeding our son, Jaylen, who has cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy and other medical conditions we looked up and it felt as if everyone was staring directly at us. All the eyes made us very uncomfortable so we decided to leave. After arriving home my husband and I had a conversation about what happened and by the end of our discussion came up with the idea of creating a brand for Jaylen that said “Don’t Stare”. So, here we are today!!

Purpose

The purpose of Don't Stare is to educate others as well as raise awareness about staring. Don't Stare is for everyone, whether it be someone with a disability, transgenders, homosexuals, those fighting a illness that has caused their appearance to change, convicts, those battling addiction or those that have overcome addiction, amputees and etc. Its for everyone that has ever experienced being stared at for any reason. Its to let people know that its okay to ask appropriate questions or just to say HI.
